I am currently using Brad Penn oil in my 73 Teener based on the recommendations from Teener owners.
While it doesn't affect me, I was reading the small print and it said: "Contains high zinc and phosphorous additive concentrations which can be detrimental to cars with catalytic converters." Does this mean if you running a late model Teener with stock setup, you shouldn't use Brad Penn oil? |

QUOTE(JawjaPorsche @ Oct 29 2011, 05:38 AM)  I am currently using Brad Penn oil in my 73 Teener based on the recommendations from Teener owners. While it doesn't affect me, I was reading the small print and it said: "Contains high zinc and phosphorous additive concentrations which can be detrimental to cars with catalytic converters." For anybody wondering why Brad Penn or other oils are specifically recommended for their teener, it's because these additives are essential to the proper lubrication of air-cooled engines and other designs. Over the years these additives have been reduced or removed in order to provide lower emissions from newer engine designs, incompatibilities with newer sensor types, and as referenced above things like catalytic converters. I'm just repeating what I've read: Extensive testing report from LN Engineering One of many threads on 914World |
